Boy Problems

Welcome back to Boy Problems! This week, comedian, co-host of  ⁨@GoodChildrenPod⁩ , and all around sweetheart Andrew Muscarella joins Liz for the slumber party of all slumber parties. They get into everything from Andrew's 4D description of his s*x dungeon experience to why Panera girls were a safe haven for closeted gay guys -- and why Chipotle boys bring a totally different energy. If you've ever made someone brownies because they mentioned they like them and then been told you were "too much" — this episode is for you. You are not too much. They just can't receive. Every comment you leave, every share, every time you send this to a friend — it means more than I can say and it's what keeps us going every week.

Groceries are a luxury good, going out to dinner with friends costs one trillion dollars, and Vogue is out here romanticizing cabbage like we’re not in a recession.
Today on Boy Problems Liz declares: it's gonna be a Broke Girl Summer. This summer, we're lentilmaxxing, rentmaxxing, parentmaxxing, and taking advantage of the fact that making out is totally free.
This is your sign to skip the girls trip that would put you in debt, romanticize your apartment, and declare your own Broke Girl Summer.

Welcome back to Boy Problems! This week, Liz co-hosts the podcast with her emotional support hot water bottle AND actor, writer, host of the Tell Me Something Messy podcast, and certified hottie Brandon Kyle Goodman.
Together, they reminisce on the TV shows that raised them (shout out Uncle Phil), expose Cinderella as a trauma survivor, and they also coin the official vibe of the season: Broke Girl Summer — because ketchup slices are real, tomatoes are $4, and enjoying your rent feels better than a beach vacation.

This week on Boy Problems, Liz sits down for an emergency debrief on a raw, still stinging, gut-punch of a disappointment - and she's not waiting for the dust to settle to talk about it. Armed with an emotional support croissant and a dog-eared book of David Whyte poetry, Liz turns fresh rejection into a completely unhinged (and deeply necessary) guide for how to feel the thing without letting it hold you back.
Feeling disappointed is not a sign you did something wrong. It's a receipt for your courage.
This episode is for anyone in their 48-hour window right now. Do not make your life smaller. We love you.

This week on Boy Problems, comedian Jared Freid climbs into Liz's very soft bed, tries to drink the microphone, and somehow manages to explain men better than anyone on the internet right now.Jared drops a take that's guaranteed to start fights in the group chat: men don't actually care about dating. 🤯 And honestly, it tracks. in this episode that will be hotly debated - men don't care about dating. And honestly, it makes sense. Liz and Jared unpack why millennials are the least confident generation alive, why men avoid friendship breakups (and self-work,) how we’ve weaponized the ick, and why we only leave unhinged comments on our worst day.
